We own an old #linksys router wifi I am told is very hackable (I.e. #tomato). I would like to just be able to plug it into our telco modem/router combo and use it as a #wholeHouse#VPN for concealing identity (like using it to connect to a Comercial VPN provider) but I haven't found any good tutorials. Am I missing something ? #Linux
I'm in need of a little Nerd-Pr0n... what little useful thing comes into your mind as tool of at the Linux command line? Not a super-nerdy command to sophisticated resolve a problem, but a tool for actual problems that would also be useful for n00bs to take their fear about using the CLI?
So curling wttr.in is a nice trick - but yesterday I discovered v2 of the service (probably around for a million years but new to me).
curl v2.wttr.in/Berlin
yt-dlp and wget to fetch files from the Intenets without having to open a browser were on the list yesterday as well, but I'm eager to (re)discover some other nice tools.
> If you installed a Linux system with disk encryption more than a couple of years ago, there's a decent chance it's using a weak key derivation function and someone who cares enough would be in a position to brute-force it. https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/66429.html has more details and instructions on how to update to a better KDF.
My perception is that once there's $SOFTWARE Community Edition and $SOFTWARE Enterprise Edition, the sponsoring company will usually gradually suffocate the CE version in order to push users into buying licenses for the EE version. I'm not saying this is happening here, but if I were building a #NAS box, I'd keep that in mind when deciding what software stack to run on it.
GNU Linux-libre 6.1 is out! I've pushed the .deb and .rpm updates, which should become visible in a package manager near you once the mirrors sync. https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/ This will be a long-term support (LTS) kernel but, in a change from the past, I'll leave the linux-libre-lts package tracking the 5.15 series until 6.2 comes out in February. I think this will be the general process going forward as it provides time for the newly released version to stabilize before making it LTS. #GNU#linux
#GNU #Linux-libre https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/ because, unlike Torvalds' and K-H's distributions of #Linux, every one of its pieces respects users' essential software freedoms, and because it doesn't mislead anyone into believing a nonfree kernel is a whole operating system
ricardo, bacana você se preocupar com isso. a campanha de desinformação para esconder ou domar nossa luta pela liberdade no meio digital é bastante prejudicial e a questão é muito mais importante do que a maior parte das pessoas se dá conta.
mas ainda que seja uma questão de desinformação com impacto na liberdade de todos nós, é também uma questão de liberdade de expressão de posição política. embora eu discorde da posição de quem, por ignorância ou má fé, toma o lado dos exploradores e da falsa liberdade que impulsionam o #linux, em detrimento da defesa das liberdades dos usuários que move o #gnu, não me parece adequado censurar a expressão dessa posição, ainda que ela seja hostil à nossa luta.
dada essa posição de não-censura, resta-nos aproveitar a oportunidade que ela nós dá: a maior parte das pessoas que embarca no discurso pseudoapolítico da maioria e chama o sistema de linux o faz não por uma vontade de suprimir a luta pela liberdade, mas por ter acreditado nas versões ou de que nossa luta é indesejável, ou de que o linux a representa. cada menção injusta e potencialmente desinformada nos dá uma oportunidade de informar não só ao interlocutor, ignorante ou malicioso, mas aos demais participantes da conversa, entre os quais sempre há de haver pessoas dispostas a aprender, a perceber que não estão representadas pela posição majoritária, que nem é neutra mas tenta se passar como tal, e assim se somar à nossa luta
you could share files between computers made to run only linux, by writing and loading kernel modules that used any of the many layers of networking protocols implemented in it.
now, if you meant #GNU or Android operating system userlands, both of which run on top of the kernel #Linux you named (according to its own primary author, by itself the kernel gets you nowhere), many options are available: copying files around with rsync/ssh, sftp/scp; making filesystems available with nfs, samba/cifs, sshfs; sharing filesystems with ceph, gcluster; replicating storage or accessing remote storage with nbd/rbd; sending and receiving files manually over torrents, GNU jami, ...
there are so many things you might mean by "file share" that there's no way to make a single recommendation of best practices, it really depends on what you're trying to do
200+ #npm and #pypi packages caught dropping #Linux cryptominers.
> These packages are largely typosquats of widely used libraries and each one of them downloads a Bash script on Linux systems that run cryptominers.
> It appears that both registries cleared the typosquats fairly quickly from their platforms before these could do more harm to developers.
This appears to be a characteristic behavior of #monero / #xmr #cryptocurrency users. This is by no means the first wave of mining attacks against servers.
> Researchers have unearthed a discovery that doesn’t occur all that often in the realm of malware: a mature, never-before-seen Linux backdoor that uses novel evasion techniques to conceal its presence on infected servers, in some cases even with a forensic investigation.
> On Thursday, researchers from Intezer and The BlackBerry Threat Research & Intelligence Team said that the previously undetected backdoor combines high levels of access with the ability to scrub any sign of infection from the file system, system processes, and network traffic. Dubbed Symbiote, it targets financial institutions in Brazil and was first detected in November.
